How to track your resource usage in Dumpster Controls

The "Resource Usage" tab shows admins and owners how the company is consuming SMS, email, AI, and other platform resources.

Before you start

  • An admin or owner role. Other roles do not see this tab.
  1. ## Open Resource Usage
    In the Account Center's Billing group, click "Resource Usage". The subtitle explains the scope: "Track how your company is consuming SMS, email, AI and other resources."
  2. ## Pick a time range
    Switch between "7 days", "30 days", and "90 days" to change the window for every card.
  3. ## Read the cards
    Counters cover "SMS" (via ClickSend), "Email" (via Resend), "AI Messages" (with the conversation count), "Invoices" (paid versus unpaid), "Links" (short and payment links), "Push Notifications" ("Driver and admin device notifications."), "AI Tool Calls" ("Automated actions executed by Tresha AI."), and "AI Voice" (characters narrated by Tresha).
  4. ## Check the monthly history
    The "Monthly history" section charts the "Last 12 months". A new company sees "No historical usage yet. Data will accumulate from now on."

What happens next

  • A footnote warns that usage capture started recently, so history from before that point may be missing.

Troubleshooting

I see "Failed to load usage data."

Reload the page. If the error persists, open a support ticket.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dumpster Controls really free?

Yes. The entire app is free for any company at any fleet size: dispatch, online booking, the driver app, invoicing, the Tresha AI assistant and every other feature, with no monthly fee, no trial period and no credit card to sign up. The only cost on the free plan is optional card processing when a customer pays by card through the platform: 2.99% plus $3.99 per transaction on the free plan. The entire app is free; an optional $169 per month plan lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30 and adds a Sponsored spotlight in the public company directory. Prices as published on dumpstercontrols.io/pricing on 2026-09-23.

Do you charge per driver, per truck or per order?

No. There is no per-driver, per-truck, per-user or per-order fee, and no order limit. A company with one truck and a company with twenty pay the same for the software: nothing.

Is there a contract?

No. There is no contract, no minimum term and no setup fee. You create the account yourself, and on the free plan there is nothing to cancel because nothing is billed. The optional $169 lower card rate plan is billed month to month.

Which countries and languages are supported?

Dumpster Controls serves hauling companies in the United States and Canada. The app interface and the Tresha AI assistant are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The public pages, such as the blog, the help center and the landfill finder, are in English.

How do I switch from another dumpster software?

Create a free account at dumpstercontrols.io/login, with no sales call and no credit card. Then import your customers from a CSV file using the template provided in the app; past orders can also be imported from a CSV. Container sizes and pricing are set up in Settings. The landfill database, with 1,750 active US and Canadian landfills as counted on 2026-10-23, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
